I am originally from Ely. I have stayed at many places there…. But this was my first time there. I was pleasantly surprised at the room. First of all… it was clean ! The bed was comfortable…. The water pressure was awesome and there was plenty of hot water ! Also had a microwave and a refrigerator…. Plus a coffee maker. I would stay here again…..

Nice clean place
Perfect for our needs. Had three queen bed's for me and the four girls. Very clean rooms with plenty of towels. Comfortable bed's. Microwave, mini fridge. We were able to open windows for fresh air. Was nice weather. Very close to Voyager Park. Very walkable safe town with lots of cool shops. Owners were very accommodating. Definitely would recommend.

I was in Ely for just 2 nights for hiking and eating, best restaurants up there and I have some favorites. The owner was friendly and suggested a trail I could manage, I am fat and out of shape. She also told me about a local favorite restaurant. Motel was clean. Good water pressure and air conditioning. I will return

This is now one of my favorite motels. The staff was friendly and the room was extremely clean. After 6 days on the boundary waters this place was comfortable with a welcoming warm shower…however, you do need to bring a hairdryer.

Very good experience except for parking space - very limited. Parked on street, which the hostess let us know might be best. We appreciated her honesty.

This hotel is a throwback to the 50s. I remember the hotels that you stayed in then you pulled up to the door, walked into the room, unpacked everything and your car was right there waiting for you the next morning. The rooms were extremely clean and although looked like the 50s, they had all been redone with new carpet and fixtures. They still had the wallpaper border around the top of the walls. The owner was wonderful when we checked in and gave us all the information we needed for dining out for breakfast and dinner. Her recommendations were right on. If we are ever in Ely again we will definitely stay at this motel.
